The new Minimus is still powered by a single 123A battery, but its maximum output has been upgraded from 100 to a staggering 300 lumens of light—an extremely impressive output for a headlamp its size and weight.

If 300 lumens is too much light for the task at hand, you can dial it down to any of 13 other pre-set outputs, to as low as five lumens.

The unit is now activated by a weatherproof push-button, allowing you to activate the light at the same output at which it was shut off. Output is controlled by a large knurled dial, which can be easily operated with one hand—even if it’s gloved, wet, or numbed by the cold.

The light assembly rotates vertically 180 degrees, allowing you to aim the light where you need it, without straining your neck or having to repeatedly move your head.
